This article is intended to explain how you can configure Multi-vendor marketplace, using WooCommerce Multi-Vendor Add-On plugin, WooCommerce DHL Express Plugin with Print Label, and Dokan Multi-Vendor Marketplace plugin.

Overview

The Multi-Vendor Add-on transforms your WooCommerce online store into a powerful, robust and feature-rich online shopping center. With this add-on, multiple independent vendors can sell their products via a centralized product catalog and facilitate you to ship through FedEx or DHL. From the customers’ perspective, they can buy products from multiple vendors in a single order.

Adding Vendors

Once you have installed the Dokan Multi-Vendor plugin, a new user role called “Vendor” will be available in the WordPress user role setting. Select this role and enter user details like name, email ID, shipping and billing addresses among other details, and save the settings.

The settings are as shown in the below screenshot.

Adding new vendor

You can create several vendor accounts in the same way. The created vendors can log in, and add products to your WooCommerce store.

In the General tab, enable the Real-time rates setting to access DHL rates, and enable Multi-Vendor Shipper Address setting to override shipper address set in multi-vendor plugin settings with the DHL Shipper Address specified in the DHL plugin, as shown in the screenshot below.

DHL Express settings

Remember, the above Multi-Vendor Shipper Address setting in DHL will only be available when Multi-Vendor Add-On is activated.
